Our Story

Founded in 2022 by a team of blockchain engineers and financial compliance specialists, AndesWVE set out to bridge the gap between decentralized trading and mainstream regulatory confidence. We chose Chicago as our home base because of its robust financial infrastructure and central position in US markets.

Our platform integrates directly with the Loopring protocol — a zkRollup-based Layer 2 solution that enables fast, low-cost trades while inheriting Ethereum's security. We handle the technical complexity so our users can focus on strategy.

Every decision we make is guided by three principles: security first, full transparency, and local compliance. We believe that the future of finance is self-custodial but responsibly guided.

Our Operating Principles

Four pillars that define how we serve every trader on the Loopring network.

🛡️

Self-Custody First

We never hold your private keys. All trades execute directly through the Loopring smart contract layer. Your assets remain under your sole control at all times — we simply provide the interface and liquidity routing.

🔍

Full Transparency

Every fee, spread and network cost is displayed upfront before you confirm a trade. Our revenue model is simple: a flat 0.1% per swap — no hidden markups, no surprise charges. We publish monthly proof-of-reserves on-chain.

⚖️

US Regulatory Alignment

We operate as a registered Money Services Business with FinCEN and comply with all applicable state-level money transmitter requirements. KYC/AML procedures are mandatory for all accounts. We never facilitate trades restricted by US law.

🤝

Local Accountability

Our team is based in Chicago, not offshore. You can reach us by phone during business hours, visit our office by appointment, or message us via the platform. We answer all support tickets within 4 hours on business days.

Risk Disclosure

Cryptocurrency Trading Risk: Trading cryptocurrencies, including tokens traded through the Loopring protocol, involves substantial risk of loss. The cryptocurrency market is highly volatile, with prices that can fluctuate dramatically within short periods. You may lose all or a significant portion of your invested capital. Past performance of any digital asset does not guarantee future results. No trading strategy can eliminate the risk of loss.

Technology and Smart Contract Risk: The Loopring protocol and related smart contracts may contain undiscovered vulnerabilities, bugs, or security flaws that could result in the loss of funds. While the protocol has undergone professional security audits, no audit can guarantee absolute safety. Network congestion, gas price spikes, or Ethereum blockchain issues may delay or prevent trade execution. AndesWVE does not control the underlying Ethereum network or the Loopring protocol.

Regulatory Risk: The regulatory landscape for cryptocurrencies in the United States continues to evolve. Changes in laws, regulations, or government policies could adversely affect the value, liquidity, or legality of certain digital assets. AndesWVE reserves the right to restrict or suspend trading of any asset in response to regulatory developments. Users are responsible for understanding the tax implications of their trading activity in their jurisdiction.

No Guarantees: AndesWVE does not guarantee any specific trading outcomes, returns, or profits. We do not provide investment advice, portfolio management, or financial planning services. All trading decisions are solely your responsibility. We strongly recommend consulting with a qualified financial advisor and conducting your own thorough research before engaging in cryptocurrency trading. Never trade with funds you cannot afford to lose.
